Racines Grand Reserve Sparkling Chardonnay ['19 Base] NV
A Burgundy vigneron and a Champagne grower walked into Santa Barbara and decided to make sparkling wine. Racines is the joint project of Etienne de Montille and Brian Sieve, plus Rodolphe Peters of the great Le Mesnil house Pierre Peters, and the Grand Reserve is where the Champagne half of that brain trust really shows. It's a blanc de blancs, all Chardonnay, drawn from three of the Sta. Rita Hills' best cool-climate sites: Wenzlau, Sanford & Benedict and Bentrock. Traditional method, roughly 30 months on the lees, bottled without fining or filtration. The result has the fine, quiet mousse and chalky cut that California sparkling wine almost never manages, and it's a reminder that the Sta. Rita Hills is cold enough to play this game seriously.
